choice collection of reading matter

Old Winter made his debut Thurs
day night, Nov. 3, and covered the
ground and every available object
with feecy coat of pure, white snow
which he duplicated the next night,
making fair sleighing for Saturday
which apparently was enjoyed by old
and young. The musical tinkle of
the bells filled the air with sweet
sounds, and the merry, joyous tones
of the little lads, as they coasted
down the snowy hill, was pleasing to
hear. The sleighing, however, was
of short duration. Sunday there was
more mud than snow in the roads,
!, but the sleighs were still running OF
grinding along through the mud ant
over the stones with their occupants
seemingly as serene as June morn

The History of the Friendship Between
Harper and Miss Holmes.
The Cincinnati Enquirer yesterday
printed fac-simile cipher letters which
it says were furnished by Charles Hop
kins, son of Assistant Cashier Ben. L.
Hopkins of the wrecked Fidelity Bank.
They purport to be letters sent by Har-
per, late vice-president Of the bank,
and now on trial, to Miss Josie Holmes,
his former exchange clerk. 1t is ex-
planned that after the failure Harper
professed the warmest friendship for
his assistant cashier, Hopkins, and
promised to do everything that could be
done to shield him. Young Hopkins
was correspondingly kind TO Harper,
and became his messenger to carry let
ters to and from Miss Holmes. While
in this Office he began to suspect that
Harper was arranging TO shirk upon
Hopkins the responsibility of all trans
actions with the grain brokers, and
young Hopkins, to place Harper in his
power, conceived the design of conceal
Ing the letters and delivering verbal
messages only.
This worked well enough until Miss

furious upon learning of the treachery
of his messenger, and has since been cold
toward Hopkins. The letters were in
cipher, which were easily read. Harper
also sent three checks to Miss Holmes,
which Hopkins suppressed and turned
over to District Attorney Burnet. They
aggregated 100000, and it is presumed
they were intended to be placed so as
10 cover up some of the crooked trans
actions Of his bank. One for 100000
was dated February 2S, the orhers for
100000 each were dated June 27. The
letters of Harper to Miss Holmes are rs
ardent as those of any lover could be. In
the first one he instructed her about
what she should say in her testimony.
She answered saying she would be as
evasive as she could, but feared she could
not testify as he wanted her to. To this
Harper replied with many protestations
Of love for his bright angel and up
braided her for her coldness, and espec-
tally for her cool suggestion that he
should have flown. 1t looked to him as
though she wanted to get rid of him.
He reminded her Of his talk during their
last ride together; that he said theworst
thing would be their separation; that she
said that would never be, and, pressing
kiss on his lips, said she would go to
prison with him, or, if that could not be,
would visit him daily. He begged her
TO get well and come to him before they
got into the safe deposit box, otherwise
all would be spoiled. He also urged her

in acting upon the Kidneys, and

restorative tonic, it promotes

A RumOr Current that the Grand Jury Can't
Agree Upon Proposed Indictments.

1t was the general talk about the courthouse
yesterday that the grand jury has failed to
agree upon any indictments in the election con-
spiracy cases. and that, in consequence, there
have been very exciting times in their
room in the last few days. A rumor is current
that the jury stands three for and three against
returning indictments-a strict party vote It
is we'll known that for two days but few wit
nesses have been examined, and it is supposed
tie time of the jury has been occupied in at
tempting to reach some agreement There was
a short conference yesterday morning between
the Jurors and Captain Ritter. and then the jury
left the courthouse and spent the remainder of
the forenoon at the work house While they
were absent Captain Ritter and Major Mitchell

Randolph county furnishes the latest scheme
to avoid the payment of debts in the following

who had become involved. An account of his
death by a railroad accident at Bridgeport was
in the daily press of this State two weeks ago.
An investigation has shown that the dispatch
relating to his death written By himself
and sent from the Bridgeport station. at which
place he boarded a train for the West. This
dispatch the last move in a scheme he had
been working upon for weeks. part Of which
consisted in writing a series of letters to his
friends telling them that he had experienced
several premenitions of his death, and felt GER
tain that he must soon die. His plan was to
create the impression of his death, and then by
leaving the country avoid his obligations. His
whereabouts are known. and he will be prose
cuted. He has occupied prominent educational
positions in different parts of the State
